At some moment in our lives, most of us are called upon to make a speech at a town meeting or community function, a graduation, or even a family gathering. Yet, few of us do it well. Either we talk unprepared, stumbling over words, or we overtalk, and we bore our audience. Actually, however, the basics of effective speechmaking are simple. Know your audience. Get a theme. Research it. Make notes if you must. But do it using key words that will bring entire sentences to mind. Practice before a mirror. Make the speech before your family or friends, and ask for their criticism. Finally, when you're speaking in public remember: Have humor, be sincere, be brief, be seated.In the third sentence, the phrase "and we bore our audience" should:

be changed to "boring our audience"

be changed to "boring our audience with our long-windedness"

be shortened to "and bore our audience"
